Chapter 248: Behind Ao Mountain

A salt farm has not produced salt for so many days, and the sea salt in it is already piled up, and at the same time, the salt households have no income for a long time, and there is a faint withering color in the entire salt farm, or rather, because Jiangfeng's private salt order is better, the Aoshan salt farm is poor again.

Of course, in the salt farm, Luo Yi and Yang Shishi's men and horses couldn't find any outlaws at all, and the salt lords who trafficked illegal salt, this period of time has been so tightly blocked, except for the birds in the world, will there be anyone there who comes to sell salt, don't want to live?

In addition to being frightened, the people in both the Aoshan Salt Works and the Guards were also very surprised, because behind Luo Yi and Yang Shishi's troops, there were many large and small vehicles, followed by many familiar faces, all of whom were smugglers and official salt merchants who bought salt here on weekdays.

After a period of searching, naturally nothing was found, as for the bodies of those pirates after the attack, they were naturally incinerated in the salt field some time ago, but there was no one in the salt field, and there were no injured people in sight.

This kind of lie, which can be exposed at once, makes Yan Jiaozhi feel uneasy in his heart, for fear that these fierce and vicious people will take this matter out to provoke.

Unexpectedly, after listening to the reports of their subordinates, Luo Yi and Yang Shishi directly put the vehicles and salt merchants outside in, Luo Yi stood on a high place and said loudly:

"Fathers and fellow villagers, these sea salts are the source of wealth for the outlaws, in order to prevent those outlaws who intend to resist the royal law of the imperial court from relying on these sea salts in exchange for weapons to poison the place. At the same time, these sea salts are placed here, it is too unsafe, so they are simply scattered, and everyone takes them with the salt in their hands. ”

With the salt introduction, jokes, when did the private salt trade in the Ming Dynasty settle accounts according to the salt quotation, these large and small salt merchants outside had already received the news before they followed Luo Yi and Yang Shishi over, and the salt this time was counted as a special price, according to half of the salt price set by Jiang Feng and Huang Ping this year.

This is a big bargain, now Jiang Feng and Huang Ping are more and more tightly controlled, after the establishment of the four battalions, the traffic arteries and green forest cottages in various places are even more strict for salt transportation here. Although the wife made money peacefully, the windfall profits back then were too small - they don't remember the big losses.

This kind of business is changed to a few salt barons, but it doesn't make sense to do it, this time it is suddenly a big reward, everyone is excited, and there are many big merchants who don't care about this little money and they also sent their shopkeepers to come to buy, and the idea of joining in the festival is very strong.

After hearing what Luo Yi said, the people below suddenly agreed, and came over under the maintenance of order by the soldiers, and Huang Ping's own salt merchant directly put down the salt bucket in front of the salt warehouse, and it was sold.

When the salt class in Aoshan had not yet reacted, it was already in full swing here, and there were dozens of Ding Zhuang in the salt field, but how could these people dare to confront the soldiers of the Shijiu Battalion and the Wendeng Battalion who were murderous with weapons in their hands, as for the officers and soldiers of the Aoshan Guard, they were not as good as Ding Zhuang.

Yan Jiao, who had been following Zhang Liang with a smile, was in a hurry, and hurriedly rushed to Luo Yi's side, and the guards around Luo Yi suddenly pulled out the sword in his hand.

But he still pleaded bitterly:

"Lord Luo, these are all sea salt monopolized by the imperial court, and it is a big crime for you to buy and sell it without authorization!!"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Shishi, who was beside Luo Yi, was already dumbfounded and shouted:

"Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about, the guerrilla adults of my family have already reported that the remnants of Chen Deaf are relying on the sea salt from your salt field as a supply to kill the gentry in the harassment place in Lunan!"

This is a big hat, colluding with the anti-thief, the great crime of exterminating the nine clans, Yan Jiao instinctively took a few steps back, and then thought that it was wrong, if he colluded with the anti-thief, he didn't know anything. hurriedly and loudly defended:

"Two adults, two adults, someone must have framed the villain,"

Luo Yi snorted coldly and ignored it, because this reason for rebellion was just one of the reasons that Jiang Feng told them in the letter, Luo Yi and Yang Shi did not know that Jiang Feng had sent someone to send the evidence of the so-called "collusion" to the Yamen of the Shandong Prosecutor's Office. There is no need to fabricate such a thing as buying and selling illicit salt, and as for the evidence of collusion with thieves, this kind of thing has always been a mistake and has not been let go.

Seeing the huge salt warehouse being bagged and carried onto the car by the people brought by those salt merchants, although the salt pile was huge, he couldn't stand the excitement of the salt merchants who came to pick up the cheapest, seeing that it was getting smaller and smaller, his heart became more and more anxious, but the swords and guns in front of him and the soldiers with angry eyebrows, he didn't dare to make any action anyway.

The salt class of the salt field is engaged in people with a background, or they are arranged by the capable backstage to make a fortune in the salt field, or they are arranged in the salt field to make money for others.

Looking at the salt pile in front of him or the silver money being taken away by others, the collusion with the thieves just mentioned may be scary, but the empty of this salt pile is a real head-off thing, in a hurry, this Aoshan Salt Division did not care about the cross-flow of sewage on the surface of the salt field, and directly knelt down, and wailed there:

"Your lords, be merciful, this salt field is the property of my master, Lord Huang, the servant of the Nanjing Criminal Department, and I ask the guerrilla master to negotiate with my master......"

Although the salt field is the industry of the imperial court, it is controlled by a certain noble or a certain official, although it is a certain salt field under the salt transportation division on weekdays, but the people who are really familiar with it in the officialdom are all saying "such and such a salt factory", which is also the so-called common practice.

Often, after obtaining the right to manage the salt works, high-ranking officials and nobles appointed their own domestic slaves or relatives and protégés to manage them as their own financial resources.

In Jiang Feng's previous investigation, the salt works in Aoshan had always been controlled by several wealthy merchants from Jimo and Xuejiadao, and there was no too advanced official background, and no one would have imagined that he would pull out a criminal department squire from Nanjing.

Luo Yi and Yang Shishi glanced at each other, and both saw the excitement in each other's eyes, Jiang Feng also said in the letter that this inventory of the salt field has already forced some people into a desperate situation, and there must be someone who wants to behave a little more specially, such a big loss, it is estimated that someone will lose their heads.

In the case of near-death and desperate situations, some people may say something, especially the Aoshan Salt Works that were attacked by the Japanese invaders, and maybe there will be some discoveries.

Sure enough, the salt class of the Aoshan Salt Farm said a name that was quite unfamiliar to everyone: Lord Huang, the waiter of the Nanjing Criminal Department.

This was Liu Twelve's plan for Jiang Feng, and it could be regarded as a helpless method, because now the assassins were already clueless except for the fact that they were from Nanzhili. The only abnormal thing in the entire Shandong Province during this period of time is that the so-called salt works were attacked by bandits, and what is even more wrong is the false report of the Aoshan salt works.

Jiang Feng also asked, what if nothing could be found in the salt field in Aoshan, "Sell the sea salt in the salt field in Aoshan, we can also make a lot of money", Liu Twelve said.

When the news about the Aoshan salt field had not yet been transmitted back to Dengzhou, there was a new discovery here, after the Wang Governor's Mansion was turned away that night, he didn't fall asleep at all at night when he returned home, and his mind always remembered the scene when Jiang Feng led his men to put human heads in the courtyard of the inner hall of the mansion.

There was cold sweat all over his body, and the prefect didn't believe that Jiang Feng dared to rebel, but he believed that Jiang Feng would definitely want his head, and if he didn't do it, he would destroy the door.

The next day, I sent someone over to send gifts and condolences, but I still didn't even enter the door. In addition to being frightened, Wang Zhifu had no choice but to think of a way by himself, and now it is not good to rashly tell himself that Jiang Feng, a guerrilla in Shandong Province stationed in our mansion, wants to kill me.

Others won't believe it at all, and the benefits of eating Jiang Feng by themselves in the past three years are also full of oil, and a lot of shortcomings are in the hands of the other party, so let's check it honestly.

To tell the truth, the prefect of Wang now knows that there is no problem with his inspection in the countryside, because he is wandering down for half a month, so the next problem must be that there is a traitor in the mansion, otherwise how could the thief be so clever and start ambushing when he goes out.

After all, the prefect of the Wang Mansion has been an official for so many years, and he knows how to do things steadily and meticulously, so he simply uses his family to carefully search these people in the mansion, and he does not show any traces.

However, the search and arrest in Dengzhou City became more and more strict, and at the beginning, there were also those who walked the rivers and lakes, and some people with criminal records thought that they had committed their own affairs when they saw the investigation by the officials and soldiers, and some of the bold ones still wanted to run away, but they were directly killed by spears, firecrackers, bows and arrows, and then they were charged with being smugglers and thrown directly into the government to make up a procedure.

Although it didn't start like that now, the business is still doing it, but Zhang Liang took the soldiers and horses into the city and strictly guarded all the key points and intersections. These soldiers are the elite soldiers of a hundred battles, and the murderous aura on them is terrifying. The tension in the city of Dengzhou is getting better and better day by day.

In addition to being busy with their livelihoods, ordinary people basically stay at home, and some of them are timid and afraid to hide outside the city. The prefect of Dengzhou, the prefect of Wang, has not found out any clue until now, and it was when he was in a hurry, a secretary surnamed Xue in the house came to ask for leave, saying that the old mother at home was sick and needed to go back to take care of it for a few days......
